Event details

Pop the champagne and prepare for the spectacular spectacular as Moulin Rouge! The Musical comes to Southampton from September 2026!

Enter a world of splendour, of eye-popping excess, of glitz, grandeur and glory! A world where Bohemians and aristocrats rub elbows and revel in electrifying enchantment. Welcome to Moulin Rouge! The Musical!

Winner of 10 Tony awards including Best Musical, Best Director, and Best Choreography Baz Luhrmann’s revolutionary film comes to life onstage, remixed in a new musical mash-up extravaganza. A celebration of truth, beauty, freedom and – above all – love, Moulin Rouge! is more than a musical; it is a state of mind.
